| Description | string | Indicates that the referenced Service is acquired as part of a Product. Examples of Services that may be acquired are outsourced storage and networking services, or support and warranty services. Expanding on the examples, Services represent generic functionality - so, it is possible to model the existence of storage volume management or warranty services as individual instances of subclasses of CIM_Service. These 'Services' may be enabled/disabled, started/stopped, signal an error, etc. (They behave as standard ManagedSystemElements.) Specific requests against the Services - for example, a request for warranty service or increased storage space - are NOT new instances of Service, but may be requested via the methods of the Service subclass, or be instantiated as specific subclasses of ManagedElement. |
